War in Afghanistan

[Xenon54]

Taliban really dissapointed me.
I support their takeover and thought taliban 2.0 wil be like Iran now instead it revert back to taliban 1.0
These bastard really misusing Islam for their greed of power.
I have a daughters and made sure they will go to their Univ and learnt news like this make me really angry.

You have been naive, it was clear that these illiterates are not a single bit better than they have been before and they will never be better either, i expect worse the more time passes, thats how things go in theocracies.
Besides, Iran isnt such a good exsample either, their MP's vote in favor of executing 12000 protestors, their crime? Demanding basic human rights.

Are you sure about the digits?

Are you sure about the digits?

Well its estimated that 12-15000 people are arrested and overwhelming majority of the parliament voted for their execution.
Even if ''only 1000'' what a sick twisted regime does that to its people?

Of course that horrible! But i was curious that, you were blaming it solely on the fact that, these states are theocracy.

North Korea or Myanmar isnt theocratic states, but i can assure you, they are much worse than Iran!

But that is not to defend this kind of theocracies in any way, but to explain this can happen in other places too.

Unfortunately, the more conservative forces in Taliban has won for now.

Nope no solely but Theocracies are just that kind of state form too.

How is this hides the fact that Iran currently has the lead in many scientific development at least in the middle east ?

Which development are you talking about? We are talking about different things. You see the number of published scientific papers as scientific development. This is not real scientific development. I didn't say they don't do science. Mullahs allow science if it helps them manufacture weapons or they allow it if it helps their propaganda.

But Mullahs are afraid of things like freeing the mind, of questioning thinking, which is the main purpose of science, like vampires afraid of the sun! I mean real scientific development is what happens in these conceps. Published scientific paper numbers mean nothing.

Still not a very subtle explanation...so what is science to you ?

You see, am not a fan of Iran, if the Israelis were to nuke em I don't mind at all. But nothing from your reply could remotely hide their growing scientific achievement. Which is evident in their increasing numbers of weapons portfolio.

Which developments does it have the lead in right now?

How about long range missiles, radars... certainly not the type of tools that will come out from domestic industry if Iran's education is on par with Afghanistan.

While Iran is not lazy in those departments, they do not lead in them.

Yes. The official communication from a Taliban says a temporary ban not a permanent one (which media of course fails to mention).

In the Taliban, the older leaders are very conservative while the younger leaders are less conservative. There is an internal struggle. The less conservative leaders will prevail in the long term as some of the most conservative leaders will be dead in the next 5-10 years.

Just saw a documentary of Afghanistan only one year after Taliban conquest, that place is without a doubt the most feudal country out there.
